Description

It's no good, <name>! No matter how many coals I put to the fire, it's just not enough heat.

There's only one thing I can think of that is hot enough to temper this key and it is the insides of the Legion's fel reavers.

I've only ever seen one downed once. I remember seeing its insides fuming, shooting fire and steam as it fell. Take this mold and plunge it into a fallen fel reaver. I recommend you get yourself some friends if you plan to take one down.

this is for the key to the shattered halls. to start the very first part of this chain u must kill this guy http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22037 and he drops the quest item to start the first part. there are a lot of mobs around him so its better if u go to him with a flying mount. other than that he is reachable without one as well.

The Fel Reaver passes very close to the eastern side of Thrallmar. I managed to kite it to the NPCs that fight the infernal bombarment and they took it down in about one minute. Also if anyone in the area has killed one, you only need to be able to target the corpse and you'll be able to use the mold.

Comment by rahxephon

Notice that you only need a dead fel reaver in order to finish this. If you see someone else fighting one, you might as well help them out.

Comment by LordJMann

Confirmed... When he passes by Thrallmar, just kite him to the group of elites who normally kill the spawning infernals, they downed him in about 2 minutes, completed the quest by myself.

Comment by dangermouse777

Not sure if they changed this or not, but here's my experience with it:

Standing by the group of mages, he comes out of the southeast, walks north by them, then heads northeast. About 2 minutes later, he comes back from the northeast, down, and out to the southeast. About 20 minutes later he comes back around.

The first time I tried to kite him the mages didn't pick him up. I ran him right through them, and he continued to pound me. After I died he just ran off.

The second time, however, the mages were dropping blizzards, fighting the infernals. I ran him through the fight there, and ice blocked on the other side. After my iceblock popped he killed me, but then ran over to the mages. I released, rezzed, and ran over to watch the show. So it may be that they changed it so that the mages won't pick him up, but if they hit him with the blizzard he'll return the favor.

Comment by rlyeh

Even if you kite properly you can still end up dying if you do the solo pull- kite to the guards tactic. If you have the card of twisting nether or a soul stone, this becomes MUCH easier.

Comment by buzzman

No it works i did it today you have to run him past the mages and the guards will help too.

Comment by Stormbringer1967

Just did this as a hunter.. shot the reaver, ran into the mages and slightly past them... they WTFPWNBBQ'd the reaver, I used the mold in the coprse... got the key. Simple as pie... or cake

I of course used my get-out-of-jail-free card and Feigned Death so I could mount and watch the carnage from a hover.

Comment by tzicaseba

This is the last parth quest for Shattered Halls key . The quest is simple just need a tank and healer , you and more a DPS . The first parth starts from a mob in Shadowmoon Valley named Smith Grulloc . He can be found at 68,38 in Ata'mal Terrace . Good Luck .

Comment by Xeenon

Contrary to what you might think, a fel reaver isn't any harder to beat than any other level 70 elite. Just get a tank, healer and some DPS and go hunting.

Comment by Orik

As of patch 2.0.12 (4/10/07) you are still able to kite a Fel Reaver to the mages, they will start to AoE and some grunts may attack. Sit back and relax while they do the work. You might have to die, they only need to hit a fel reaver once and they will get aggro. You need to lose the aggro by using Feign Death, Vanish or just dieing.

Comment by docseuzz

as of 4/20, still works. Trained reaver over to caravan, just as infernal fight was finishing. Thought I'd have to wait until reaver's next lap, but the two npc's picked him up (once I feigned death to drop aggro). I joined in at about the felreaver's 50% mark. about 3-5 minutes later, one dead fel rever, used mold, swapped toons (logged out right there), and got key for 2nd toon....

multiple alts ftw... ;)

Comment by rrcp1us

I must say this is one of the easiest chains in order to get yourself a key.I suggest it to everyone who likes to have a look inside Shattered Halls (It's worth it! :) )

Comment by tlbj6142

After solo killing (kiting) the Fel Reaver 2 times and I finally realized that you have to ***USE*** the item in your bag (while standing in the Fel Rever's corpse) to complete the quest. It is not just a "loot to complete" type quest. Guess 3rd time is a charm.

BTW, the kite to the wizard trick is very easy to do. Even for a 4 thumb idiot such as myself.

Comment by Ghoste

Rogues at 350 skill can pick the Shattered Halls door, btw. So save your mats, unless you want the Thrallmar rep for this quest.

Comment by Jetdoctr

Kited and worked like a charm...soloed a 70 elite...with help from guards of course :)

Comment by Harrogar

Kiting the Fel Reaver that runs East of Thrallmar into the Caravan still works as of May 28th, 2007 (2.1 patch).

I didn't even die. I used a shock and ran 20 feet into the caravan taking only 1-2k dmg per hit. I didnt even die (I threw down an Earth Elemental totem and he tanked it!)

Comment by bloodykisses

They fixed that in the patch you cant do that anymore

Comment by belizibub

you can still kite the Fel reaver to the mages and let them do there damage on him.

Soloed 70 priest.

Comment by midgetpunt

Kiting fel reaver to casters outside of thrallmar still works as of 7/2/07, he died in under 2 minutes

Comment by Rammstein

Omg how easy it was. I pulled him straight in front of the mages and they did nothing. But when he hit the ground (and them also) they killed him in about 3 to 5 mins. I'd say he's soloable. :) So still works today 8 july 2007.

Comment by k1nk

can mby someone make a map of where the reaver travels :P

Comment by Alhanna

Fel reaver's trajectory is precise enough in the game's map :p People lure it a lot plx

Comment by nailgun80

Kiting the Fel Reaver into the elite mages / Thrallmar Guards at Thrallmar still works as of 21st of July 2007.

What I also noticed when following the Fel Reaver through Hellfire Peninsula is that it will despawn after it's run past all it's waypoints. As soon as it despawned I flew back to Thrallmar and he just respawned in front of the mages and guards.

Comment by Runen

Kited to Tempel of Telhamat, too a while but worked with a 70 druid as dps a 70 warrior as tank and 2 paladins 64 as heal(not specced for healing)

Where unable to loot, and did not get key off reaver, maybe used the unfired mold key too late?

Comment by Kabukae

Did this Q today, still works and the mages was aggroes normally by running through them with the reaver. No blizzards was needed.

Comment by Raoh

Still works to pull him to the mages, as an Alliance warrior I just pulled the Reaver from range, ran past the mages without aggroing them, positioning the Reaver on top of the mages, when he thunderclapped he aggro-ed them and they killed him in a minute.

Comment by Sibuna

having the NPCs outside thralmar kill it still works as of 8/23/07

Comment by AttorneyAtLawl

After waiting for about an hour, I tried to kite the Fel Reaver into the mages. About 10 seconds after it died, the corpse disappeared. I don't know if it's due to the mages killing it, or what. This was on 8/25/07.

Comment by maximusprime

Set in front of the bloodmages by Thrallmar and hit him with a throwing knife, turned around and ran through the bloodmages. They took him off me right away with all their blizzards/arcane missiles. Took him down in around 3 mins and got to loot him too (60s). Easy.

Comment by Loudnoxious

Kiting him in still works as of Sept 1, 2007. LB->NS->GW, run to the mages...PROFIT!

Comment by Vesicular

If you have a pet (any pet, hunter pets, shadowfiend, elementals, etc), there's a very easy way to do the kiting without dying. Put the pet on the Fel Reaver, then run to the mages. Once you reach the mages they will actually run after the Fel Reaver for you and start attacking it where your pet is. Once they start sit back and enjoy. You won't even be touched.

Comment by Seaxulf

Kited him to the NPC's that fight the Infernal Bombardments no problem. In fact i had to do it twice because when they kill him, at least both times i kited him, you only have a matter of about 2-3 seconds to use the mold before there's a bombardment of infernals. The Infernal bombardment stuns for a couple seconds each and by the time i was not stunned the fel reaver corpse had despawned. Make sure you're ready to use the mold immediately upon his death. After the mages had aggro i was able to stand right next to him without taking damage and use the mold immediately after they downed him.

Comment by Flameborn

He is still kiteable by the way... Pulled it with my voidwalker and sacrificed him when the mages locked on the Fel reaver. They downed him in a matter of minutes. The poor thing dropped 12s :)

Comment by Nighttouch

Man this sucks. I keep tryin to kite him to the mages, but he smokes me every time before i can get there.

After a few tries I finally got it to work. Sucked I couldn't loot the corpse though.

Comment by Yaguul

Kiting him to the elites at Thrallmar still works as of today. I just now did it. LB, NS+GW then run to the elites. He hit me once and they didn't aggro but when I stood there and took a second hit right next to them, they immediately started pounding him. Took about a minute and a half or so, easy kill :)

Comment by Lt5kA

kiting to mages works. tested 1 hour ago

Comment by Tuhan

Confirmed to work with 2.3.3 as of January 27th (just did it).

Comment by Vtai

Still works as of today. Pulled him to the horde mages and they made him into scrap metal.

Comment by magnetite

Still works as of 3/1/2008. Patch 2.3.3.

Comment by FuxieDK

Just one question: How the /&%¤/&) do you kite that damn Fel Reaver???

He's MUCH MUCH too fast to out run... Also, he slows you every time he hits you, making you even slower..

The run from Thrallmar takes approx. 2 minutes and I've never managed to "kite him" more than 3 seconds... When I get back to my corpse, he' even further from the city that before..

Comment by Nakashi

Hes on almost exactly a 22 minute path and is still kitable as of 03/21/08. However, unless you let him hit you the mages wont jump in o.O

Comment by Resseneus

Still works as of 2.4

Comment by quader46

since everyone is talking about killing fel reaver with the mages by thrall......

i kited him to the mages as a 59 ret pally. all i did was judge command him, popped a swiftness pot and booked it back to mages. once i was there i bubbled and watched the show =)

i only did this for fun though. lol

Comment by sunsmoon

May 5th, 2008 - still working. Took 1-2 minutes to down him (had infernals up too, though). Has not despawned after 1 minute of the corpse lying there.

He patrols roughly 30 steps east of the mages. If you miss him when he heads north he will be back around within 2-3 minutes. If you missed him while going south, however, you'll be in for a long wait (up to 20 minutes). :(

Simply use a low-damage/low threat ranged attack (spell/throw/shoot/whatever) and run straight to the mages. Hopefully there wont be an infernal spawn to stun you >:) Let him smack you once and the mages will go right on him, tanking him for the rest of the fight.

Comment by Kilpikonnafarmi

Just did this today (4. jul 2008) alone with my lvl 70 warlock and it worked like a charm. Here's how I did it:

First I put soulstone on me. Then I stood among the mages and sent my void to get the reaver to me. After first hit I called it back so the reaver would follow it to the mages and me just standing there. They were not attacking anything at the time btw, just standing there.

Well, my void died before even reaching back to me but no prob, the reaver ofc just came straight to me. I died like from 2 blows but that was enough to aggro the mages on it. Then I just stayed on my corpse watching the show. It does some aoe occasionally so it might be I just got lucky that it aggroed those mages, who knows.

After a while when the reaver was around 10% health I decided to ress thinking it was safe enough. So I used the ss and stood there a while somewhat back watching the mages pummeling it.

The reaver went down and I completed the quest targeting it and using the mold. =)

Very easy!

Comment by bigsr05

AS of lastnight the kite trick to the guards outside thrallmar still works

Comment by reflectivesol

You may want to take off your gear before you start kiting and be sure to plunge the key mold into his corpse quickly after you rez (assuming you died) because he despawns rather quickly (maybe after 15 seconds or so)

Edit: actually, the first time he despawned after 15 seconds, but the second time he didn't despawn for a long time. Just to be safe, be sure to have your quest item ready to use

Comment by valarua

kite trick still works as for 3.0.2

Comment by germieb

It seems you need to do this if you want to complete the achievement for hellfire quests...

Comment by Sjiulk

Did this today as a well-geared 80 enhance shaman with an 80 unholy DK. Super easy, could have solo'd it.

Comment by Amrun

Extremely easy at any level really. Just wait for the reaver to walk by Thrallmar (it takes a while sometimes, true) and cast your longest range spell at him. Then, run as fast as you can back to Thrallmar and stand behind the group of guards beside the caravan. They'll take him down easy - the elite there will be taking most of the blows but will not die.

Comment by Mehard

Just soloed him for my key, Unholy lvl 70 DK, was very easy, almost too easy so I have to ask... did they nerfed the Fel Reaver?
